Because with the high value of the metals in the batteries the corporations can really sell the dead batteries and get on to money. Throwing them in the garbage cost corporations money because they have to pay to have it hauled away. That why car batteries were recycled long before recycling was in fashion.
Staples has a recycling area for batteries, phones, etc.
0:33 i used to have that LARGE battery with black cap! used for vacuum cleaner haha. Didnt last long
Well said sir.
or rebuild
In the UK when the batteries go to meet your maker,we have to throw the whole thing away,be it phone,laptop,camera etc as the cost of a new battery is usually more than than the thing is worth,my laptop needs a new battery and they want $160 for a cheap lone,the laptop isnt worth that sma ewith my drill the drill cost $50 all in a new battery is $120!! obtuse,save for thats the UK for you,
Fantastic and Informative clip.
I used to get food out of the dumpster behind an Acme grocery store. Once, I found in the dumpster the exalted bag of plastic bags that they have you “recycle” at the front of the store. Your suspicion is well founded. I wonder how much of the stuff I place out for recycling pickup really gets recycled.
If people really cared about the environment, recycling would be enforced.
Knowing how thoughtless corporations are to the environment, how do you know that they don’t just through them in the garbage after you leave just to save a buck.
Sir, thank you for making this!! I agree that batteries MUST be kept out of our environment. The scary thing is, battery chemicals cause birth defects if they leach into aquifers. I want to help you in this cause!!
it excellent to recycle things like batteries,inkjet cartriges etc
Fantastic tip. Lowes or Home Depot usually has a battery recycling program too…most of them do where I live.
